[Facts cont]

Last year, in fact, #US economic growth decelerated under #Trump to a still-respectable 2.1%, partly because the 43-day federal government #shutdown slashed growth from October through December.

Nor has #inflation vanished. The #Labor Department’s #consumer price index was up 2.4% in February compared with a year earlier. It’s still above the #FederalReserve’s 2% target.

The #Senate on Thursday sent a bipartisan funding deal to reopen #DHS back to the #House, which convened for a 2-minute session & took no action to pass it. The Senate’s bill to fund the agency is now formally back with the House, & the #shutdown will continue at least through Monday, when the chamber will hold its next session. The plan would have funded DHS through Sept 30 but omit money for #Trump’s #immigration crackdown.

Even after Speaker Mike Johnson agreed to a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security without immigration enforcement money, the House failed to take it up amid hard-right opposition.

30 Members of #Congress In Scotland On Taxpayers' Dime Amid Shutdown

“Over two dozen members of Congress are on an overseas trip during the government shutdown ... and it's all being paid for by taxpayers while tons of federal workers go unpaid with rent due.”

🚨 Congress just rewrote the rules mid-shutdown.

Instead of fixing DHS funding in one bill, they split it into two… and kicked the real fight down the road.

That might ease the pain now, but it almost guarantees another showdown soon.

Here’s what actually changed and why it matters 👇

The WASHINGTON PRETZEL 16h ago

BREAKING: House Republicans caved on the DHS shutdown. Speaker Johnson drops objection to Senate funding bill. Trump intervened to broker deal. TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, CISA: funded. ICE/CBP/ SAVE Act: NOT included. All 3 were Trump's demands. All 3 rejected from this bill. ICE/CBP funded separately via reconciliation later. 500+ TSA officers quit during this fight. Democrats held the line. Won it.

An end to the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may be in sight, after Congress's Republican leaders on Wednesday agreed to advance legislation that would fund most of the agency's operations, with the exception of those involved in immigration enforcement. “ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/01/republicans-dhs-funding-partial-shutdown #shutdown

Republican leaders agree to advance funding deal to end DHS shutdown

Measure that would fund homeland security but exclude money for ICE could conclude lengthy funding lapse
